RV. Mr. Skinnk.!-, SttuUuville.Mar;!' f., 1027. 'lour correspondents have, in some intan

FRON TUP. CII RI.KSTON-, (s. C.) CAZnTTL. Saturday last closed the second session of the Nineteenth Congress uf the U. States. The Representatives of a mighty empire are now returning to their respectiv e coustituents.to ren der up an account of their prefoimancc ol the great trusts w hich have been confided to them. How they shall accomplish tlii hist duty is an impiiiy 'of the most serious import. Aie there many who can look back with unmingled satisfaction to the history of their olln ial labors The peiiod of cool rejection, of dispassionate judgment, has arrived. Aie theie not some, then, w ho stand rebuked for a craft v ami insidious purpose, which overlooked the public good, in the gratification of personal animosity, and the promotion cl party ititeicsts? Arc there not others who, commencing witn purer
intentions, hav e gradually icided to the irritation of their feelings, ami. provoked intoretoit, ventured into and persisted at length in practices which they would otherwise have condemned, as unbecoming equally thei'r honor r men an.t their duty as the servants of the public And, how many more are theie, w io, either disgusted with the low intiigues, the corrupt practices, and the unni nly dissensions daiiy passing under Iheir inspection, or stupidly m-.emibie to their exhibition. Lave remained in their seats in shameful siknce.u itli scarcely a solitary effort to anest th degeneracy, and restore the dignity and purity of the national councils' It will be happy, "indeed; if the task of self-examination be accompanied with neither of peso results to some who are now. perhaps, on their way to their own and the homesof their constituents: for the consciousness of his own rectitude can alone supply to eacii man's bosom a consolatory feeling, .as he surveys the past anil anticipates the judgment of the future upon that utter destitution of services, and neglect of duty, w liieh havetharacterized the legislation of the session which has but ju-t closed. Phe lloor of Congress has been literally converted into an airna for rontending partizaus, whence the Pkopj.k have been excluded, or into which they leave I t en only occasionally admitted, that they might witness its worthless and unprofitable game? and sports. Such is the mortifying reflection of these who.icmoved fiom lhe excitement of the party
leelmgs winch have too much swayed the discussions of the last Congrcs, and regarding as they justly should, the determination of any new paily question, of inliniteJy less moment than the disposal of a variety of other subjects which have been submitted to its consideration, are now scrutinizing the few insufficient ami unimportant cnactinentsjw hich have heen passed, and the discomfiture or postpone merit of measuies the most vitally aUectiiig the interests of the I nio-i at large. It is, therefore, most devoutly to be wished, that the labours and results of future years u ill speedily erase the reproach w hich is thus left upon the annals of onr legislation.
